UHD3000 App does not turn on media player.

UHD3000 App does not turn on media player. Message=Connection failed, please check media player.
Why?

 

There's a bug in the latest iOS app where the WOL magic packet isn't sent correctly. I'm not sure if Android is the same - no reason it should be - but I only use iOS.

The box itself responds correctly to WOL packets - if you send a WOL packet from Windows for example, that works fine.

The devs are aware of it.

 

Works for me using Android App.

 

Cool - thanks for confirming.

 

How does that work? If UHD3000 is switched off, the app cannot find a connection to the player, probably because UHD3000 has no standby. Only WoL App helps.

 

The app doesn't need to be connected to send WOL packets.

Even when powered "off", the network card on the device remains connected at 10 base-T and although TCP/IP connections cannot be made, it accepts WOL packets.

 

I know that the network card is running, I just didn't know how to boot with the app if the player is not displayed. I played around with the app and found that I could open the player menu via "Connect history" and select the "Boot" option.
Not exactly convenient, with the WoL app it only takes one click, as I have a widget for Zidoo on the desktop.
